Or get amputated.
The first times I went to the swimming pool in rehab, I remember feeling “more than 100%” naked in the changing room - if that makes any sense - because bits of me that used to be deep down inside of me were now only skin-deep. It’s a very strange feeling to feel even more naked than naked. Hard to describe.
Do you still feel a phantom hand in your head?
yes. what’s fun is when they cramp. and when the part of you that is cramping is not a part that is available to put up to a mirror to unclench. so you just get to sit there, since your MD believes you’ve healed.
your MD believes you’ve healed. book says you should have years ago.
If your doc thinks that, change doc.
In my neck of the woods, doctors are so aware of phantom pains that I can literally walk into any doctor’s office, even one I’ve never met before, and ask for a prescription of Gabapentin or opioid of any denomination at any strength no questions asked. If I was still addicted, I would have no supply problem.
And then you’re drug seeking and doctor hopping and then there are only four doctors will even see you.
Well, I still have both my hands, so no 🙂
My feet however… Well no, I don’t have phantom limbs. Never had. Not everybody gets them. And I have very little phantom limb pain - which is a different thing. When I do get it, it’s either in the form of mild electric shocks, which are easy to deal with and possibly even pleasant like a TENS session, or in the form of terrible itching I can’t scratch that can last for up to 3 days.
Jeez. I know that’s a mind fuck.
I have a sizable piece of property out in the middle of nowhere. Gotta say, going walkabout wearing only socks and shoes is the BEST!
I live in England and this level of certainty that you won’t run into anyone is simply unfathomable to be
I’m about 1km of dense woods from my nearest neighbor. Sometimes their dog gets out and they come looking for him.
They have learned to text and wait (cause signal coverage is spotty at best) the hard way 🤪
A hat will work to
Its working! You’re a genie!
or socks and sandals
Dave Barry posited a very similar theory about black socks, IIRC.
Optimally hight heels (including the case all genders).
high heels? too dangerous for me and very uncomfortable to wear too
Feeling like Sonic
So that’s why they called ron jeremy the hedgehog.

Man invented shoes first, because he was walking through the hot sand and the sharp rocks and the pointy briars, so he invented shoes to protect his feet from the ground. Then he invented pants, because he felt silly standing around naked in his shoes.
I think that was a Gallagher bit?
Well if you’re gonna go outside naked, it’s the sensible thing to do.
The shoes stay on during sex.
With or without socks?
Only without socks.
You are not going on a date with my daughter young man, not with that attitude.
With socks. Otherwise, you’re focused on the weird feeling of wearing shoes without socks.
However, naked with just socks is still more naked than just naked.
Hat.
This dream, again??
